DARA A eb 1 A Fitting on a Corset. From the New York Herald, There was a lady in this city who had a hard corset struggle yesterday after noon. By an actual count that was taken she tried on eight different pairs Some horrid men out on thes dewalk did the counting. A Herald reporter was one of them, While walking up Broadway heno- ticed a group of gentlemen standing in front of Bijou and looking very atten- tively across the way. They were all wrapped up in it. The group kept in- ¢ easing until it became a «¥ wd, They were looking at a window in the Grand Hocrotel ss the way. The win- dow was a tall one, lsce curtined, and on the second floor, In the trinngle of blackness, bordered by thecurting, was the sight. It was a lady of about thirty, whom pasture had been kind to, She was rot= ed in white, that is, portions of her were: The rest wasn't robe | in anything. (3 She was trying on corsets, lacing them pulling them down, and doing all sorts of things with them, and seemingly quite oblivious of the sudience that was watching ber. The crowd bacame in- terested, but it hoped that she would not be successful in finding a fit for 4 good while, she was not. Just why she should stand so near the curtained win dow opened on Broadway was a my. FOR 5 CENTS. tery that no one tried to solve. B 1t that erowd liked riddles, She found a fit. The crowd sighed and dispersed. ee om —— A BASE SLANDER —— A friend just from Nice tells me | that, from curiosity he weal round the hotels to see what unclaimed prop- | erties were lying in their bureaus. To be able to inspect them well, he pre tended to have something to claim’ Tae show of jewelry was small. When caskets were not carried off in the | flight, they were claimed by tel egraph. But aids to beauty and ev” idences ahounded of how, when ba- Lare fails, art steps in to set tottering | mouths right to cover d. nuded heads wnd to fill our flattened chests. My friend had no idea to what extent contrivance had been pushed in the | manufacture of supplemental busts and hips. Of the former he was abla | to bear away a few specimens, Which h: bas dissected, not with the scalpel | but with 8.lssors. They are beauti-| fully elastic, 8 quality derived from | the foe wire springs inside. These | springs are set in a layer of horsebair a 1d have an outer coating of soft and tough silk into which elder-down is | quilted. It keep out of sight aod touch everything harsh and metallic. The artfally-contrived busts the tight tailor made corsage jast like paturar rcundoess, and is suffi’ ciently yielding not to start the seams’ Its effect would take in the most prac- tised eye. resists Usited States Marshal Wilson, of tie District of Columbis, in a eonver- sation told the story of a goose that | cost the Government $160. When Fred. Dong ass was Marshal it wa® | customary to summon a large number of witnessess to appear before the | Grand Jury, the ability of the jury to | examine all thus summoned in day not being considered by the Mar. | shal, This was parlicularly the case | where the party charged with the of fence happened to be a colored man. | The per diem being $1.25, every | negro residing iu the vicinity where the offence was alleged to have been | committed, struggled to have himself | tammoned. Oa ove of these ocasions | Me. Wilson was fireman of the Grand one | Jury. A negro was charged with | having stolen a live goose. Over | thirty witnesses were summoned by | the Marshal, and the Grand Jory | spent two days in their examination. When the case was concluded the | for man reporied the facts to Judge | Me Arthur, an | express«d the opinion that witnesses were summoned in many cases for revenue wily, The | foreman was insiructed vot to spend | time in exa-nining such witnesses, | and the Marshal was directed there after to summoa ny more wituomes than the Grand Jury could examine on the day for which they were sum moned. This resulied in correcting | the abuse during the continuance ©’ Mr. Wilson's term as foreman of the jary. I inquired into the cost,” saul Mr. Wilson, “of our inquest over thay goose, aud found that the expense to the g vernm nt was over $160. The experience has been of service to re as Marshal aod enabled me Lo save to the Treasury a preity large sum io witness fees.” Gloves at 5c per pair, Ladies, Hose at 5¢ per pair. —————" Ladies’ Underwear of all Grades.
